Exciting Results
Nonnie has been home for a whole week already, and she is doing extremely well! Besides the obvious of being in her own home and sleeping in her own bed, she has been able to get out to watch the grandkids sports. Papa went fishing on Wednesday with his buddies and will return on Sunday. Yesterday, Shannon took Nonnie to her doctor appointment, and they received some awesome news! When she left the hospital last week, her platelets were approximately 60,000. Her red and white blood counts were lower than normal, but that was to be expected at this point in the game.
Her results from yesterday have brought a complete joy to our family, that is nothing short of a miracle! Her platelets have climbed to 116,000....her red blood count is within the normal range, and her white counts are still a little low, but still gradually rising. The doctor removed her PICC line and gave the "thumbs up" for Nonnie and Papa to go to Oregon. On Tuesday, as they have for decades, they will make the 800+ mile drive back to the place where they call their second home......"The Oregon House".

Hello Linda and Dave: Just called Jeff's house to see if they have heard from you and if you've arrived in Oregon yet. It's 7:30pm. They didn't answer phone, so I suspect they are tucking in the kids and saying night prayers, etc. I am ENTIRELY excited about you being able to go to your other "home". Enjoy all that God has created in that beautiful part of the country. You deserve the break more than anybody I know. My prayers will continue streaming from my lips to God's ears! Kathi xoxoxo
